Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So Congress can pass a Law and say it's above Judicial review?
That's not how it works.
That apparently is how it works.
Oh that's wonderful, Democrats push for the Keystone XL pipeline to get axed because Trump wanted it and then they do this crap, great
I mean now we have Greta Thunberg getting arrested for protesting while just some years ago she was literally speaking at the damn UN
I'm pretty sure one person does not represent all of the Democratic Congress people.
But one person in the Democratic party still screwed over the environment because Joe Manchin gets the most kickbacks from Oil companies, so it's a blow to all of us Democrats regardless and does nothing to help the party or this country
Wrong. We wanted kxl cancelled long before trump came along. Why do we want to have the risk of a pipeline leal so Canada can export their oil in Texas?
Not "they". "He." I'm sure he pissed a lot of Dems off in the process, but that's what happens when you have a razor-thin majority and unified, intransigent opposition. Sometimes you need the support of even the most backwards-thinking know-nothings.
